Analytical Summary
This verified complaint filed June 23, 2025 in Durham County Superior Court documents Montague Capital Partners LLC's breach of contract action against Cyberlux Corporation for unpaid consulting fees and commissions totaling over $3.5 million.

TEN-001
Tension
Commission Rights vs. Secured Creditor Claims
Fundamental conflict between Montague's contractual commission rights on Ukraine drone contract payments and Legalist's claimed secured creditor status with assignment rights to the same receivables.
Page 11 — That assignment directly conflicts with Montague's contractual right to receive 5% commissions on all Ukraine drone contract payments. Moreover, Legalist's claimed indebtedness, as of January 24, 2025, totaled '$7,313,627.17 with fees accruing at a daily rate of $4,364.46.'

Tension between limited available assets (pending $25.7M payment) and at least $40 million in competing creditor claims, creating priority dispute and insolvency risk.
Page 12, 13 — A letter from the Texas receiver, dated June 4, 2025, catalogues the staggering scope of Cyberlux's debts, identifying 'at least $40 million in debt Cyberlux owes to various creditors.'

QST-001
Question
Timing and Amount of $38.7M Receipt
Exact timing and breakdown of the $38.7 million payment received during 2023 requires clarification. Complaint states 'approximately $38.7 million' received 'during 2023' but Welter declaration references September 8, 2023 receipt.
Page 7, 10 — Based on information available to Montague, public court filings, and Cyberlux's public financial disclosures, Cyberlux received approximately $38.7 million in payments under this contract during 2023.

Question
Status of 2% Commissions on Other Contracts
Complaint references failure to pay 2% commission on other Commissionable Contracts but provides no specific amounts, contracts, or supporting detail for this claim.
Page 8 — In addition to its failure to pay the 5% commission on the Ukraine drone contract, Cyberlux has failed to pay the 2% commission due to Montague on other Commissionable Contracts.
QST-003
Question
Certainty of $25.7M Payment Timing
While complaint asserts HII payment of $25,795,303.38 is 'expected' and 'imminent,' the actual timing and certainty of this payment remain unclear based solely on references to Texas receivership filings.
Page 7 — Furthermore, based upon documents filed by the former receiver of Cyberlux, in Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC, et al. v. Cyberlux Corporation, et al., Cause No. 2024-48085, 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the 'Atlantic Wave case'), Montague has learned that HII is expected to make an additional payment of $25,795,303.38 to Cyberlux in the near term.

Interpretive — Inferences, Omissions, Patterns
4 nodes
INF-001
Inference
Deliberate Creditor Evasion Strategy
Pattern of conduct suggests coordinated strategy to frustrate creditor recovery: immediate asset dissipation upon receipt of funds, serial improper litigation tactics sanctioned by courts, strategic encumbrance of receivables to secured creditors, and failure to provide contractually required transparency.
Page 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 — Compounding these payment failures, Cyberlux has breached its reporting obligations under Section 3.3(a) of the Agreement by failing to provide monthly statements detailing payments received under Commissionable Contracts... This lack of transparency has forced Montague to rely on incomplete public information and third-party sources
INF-002
Inference
Montague's Instrumental Role in Transformation
Evidence suggests Montague played critical role in transforming Cyberlux from small lighting company to defense contractor, including guiding key acquisitions (Catalyst Machineworks, Datron World Communications) and lifting 'Caveat Emptor' designation that made stock essentially worthless.
Page 3, 4 — Highlights of Montague's work on behalf of Cyberlux include: · Formulating and leading Cyberlux's transition from a small company focused on lighting systems to legitimate defense subcontractor; · Guiding Cyberlux's acquisition of the (then-distressed) high-speed drone manufacturer Catalyst Machineworks ('Catalyst') and advising on Catalyst's transformation from drone-enthusiast company to the military/law-enforcement drone manufacturing arm of Cyberlux; · Leading, negotiating and closing on Cyberlux's acquisition of Datron World Communications, Inc. ('Datron')... · Leading the effort to lift the 'Caveat Emptor' ('CE') designation of the OTC Markets Group (which allowed for brokers and trading platforms to handle buy and sell orders in Cyberlux stock)-Cyberlux shares were essentially 'worthless' during the pendency of the CE designation

Omission
Cyberlux's Defense or Response
Complaint provides no indication that Cyberlux responded to June 10, 2025 demand letter or offered any explanation for non-payment of commissions and fees. This absence suggests either non-response or dispute of claims.

Type: complaint
Filing Header

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

DURHAM COUNTY

IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION NO. 25CV006375-310

MONTAGUE CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC, Plaintiff,

VS.

CYBERLUX CORPORATION Defendant.

VERIFIED COMPLAINT JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

Plaintiff Montague Capital Partners, LLC ("Montague" or "Plaintiff") hereby brings this action against Defendant Cyberlux Corporation ("Cyberlux" or "Defendant") for breach of contract and related claims arising from Cyberlux's failure to pay millions of dollars in contractually owed consulting fees and commissions.

INTRODUCTION
1.
This action arises from Cyberlux's willful refusal to honor its contractual obligations to the strategic consultant that transformed it from a struggling small-cap lighting company into a legitimate defense contractor with tens of millions of dollars in government contracts.
2.
Despite Montague's instrumental role in sourcing and securing the largest contract in Cyberlux's history-a $79 million agreement to supply drones to Ukraine's Ministry

of Defense-Cyberlux has refused to pay any portion of the commissions contractually owed to Montague.

3.
While Cyberlux has already received approximately $38.7 million under this contract and stands to receive an additional $25.7 million payment imminently, it has deliberately withheld the 5% commission required expressly under the parties' January 2023 Consulting Agreement.
4.
Compounding this breach, Cyberlux has engaged in a calculated pattern of asset dissipation, bad faith litigation tactics, and strategic encumbrance of receivables designed to place contract proceeds beyond the reach of Montague and other creditors. Through this action, Montague seeks to recover the more than $3.5 million in unpaid commissions and fees rightfully earned through its transformative business development efforts on Cyberlux's behalf.
THE PARTIES
5.
Montague is a North Carolina limited liability company with its principal place of business at 101 Glen Lennox Dr., Suite 300, Chapel Hill, NC 27517.
6.
Defendant Cyberlux is a Nevada Corporation with its headquarters and principal place of business located at 800 Park Offices Drive, Suite 3209, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709.
JURISDICTION
7.
This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-75.4 because Cyberlux maintains its corporate headquarters and principal place of business in North Carolina, regularly transacts business in this State, and the contract at issue contains an express consent to jurisdiction in North Carolina. Moreover, Montague is a North Carolina limited liability company.
VENUE
8.
Venue is proper in this County pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-82, as Cyberlux's corporate headquarters and principal place of business is in Durham County. Further, the express forum selection clause contained in the parties' January 1, 2023 Consulting Agreement allows suits in any North Carolina court venue.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Montague's Work on Behalf of Cyberlux
9.
Montague and Cyberlux have maintained a close working relationship since 2019, formalized in the original January 1, 2019 Consulting Agreement (attached as Exhibit A) and subsequently amended and restated via the January 1, 2023 Consulting Agreement (attached as Exhibit B) and January 5, 2023 Memorandum (attached as Exhibit C) (collectively, the "2023 Consulting Agreement").
10.
Montague, and its Managing Partner, Denis Kalenja, was the driving force behind Cyberlux's most important acquisitions and was responsible for sourcing and negotiating the commercial agreements that account for the overwhelming majority of Cyberlux's revenues to date.
11.
Highlights of Montague's work on behalf of Cyberlux include:

· Formulating and leading Cyberlux's transition from a small company focused on lighting systems to legitimate defense subcontractor;

· Guiding Cyberlux's acquisition of the (then-distressed) high-speed drone manufacturer Catalyst Machineworks ("Catalyst") and advising on Catalyst's transformation from drone-enthusiast company to the military/law-enforcement drone manufacturing arm of Cyberlux;

· Leading, negotiating and closing on Cyberlux's acquisition of Datron World Communications, Inc. ("Datron") and subsequently integrating

Datron-and its tactical military communications equipment manufacturing capabilities-into Cyberlux;

· Leading the effort to lift the "Caveat Emptor" ("CE") designation of the OTC Markets Group (which allowed for brokers and trading platforms to handle buy and sell orders in Cyberlux stock)-Cyberlux shares were essentially "worthless" during the pendency of the CE designation; and

· Sourcing the contract underlying Cyberlux's most significant revenue stream-Cyberlux's $79M August 29, 2023 contract with Huntington Ingalls Industries ("HII") to deliver FlightEye Model K8 drones for use in Ukraine.

12.
In exchange for Montague's strategic business development services, work in identifying and developing acquisitions, and assistance with sourcing, negotiating and closing commercial contracts, Cyberlux agreed to pay Montague substantial fees and commissions (detailed below) pursuant to the 2023 Consulting Agreement.
Relevant Terms of the 2023 Consulting Agreement
13. Section 3.2 of the Agreement provides:

As base compensation for the Services and the rights granted to Cyberlux in this Agreement, Cyberlux shall pay Consultant a fixed fee of $250,000.00 (the "Fees") per annum, payable in equal monthly installments on the first business day of each month, commencing January 3, 2023.

14. Section 3.3 of the Agreement states:

In addition to the Fees, Consultant shall be entitled to receive two percent (2%), with the exception of any Ukraine-related commercial contracts for which the Consultant shall be entited [sic] to five percent (5%) , of the gross amounts payable to Cyberlux (the "Commission") under commercial contracts sourced by Consultant, including, without limitation, the

proceeds of joint ventures, licenses and software as service agreements (collectively, the "Commissionable Contracts") . Commissionable Contracts, including designated lines of business, work orders, and similar in effect on the date hereof are listed on Schedule 2 hereto.

(emphasis added).

15.
Schedule 2 of the Agreement provides:

The following are Commissionable Contracts and/or work orders in effect as of January 1, 2023.

. That certain line of business related to the sale of tactical drones from time to time for use by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, including without limitation, Order no. 220/9169 dated September 21, 2022 for 1,000 tactical drones type FlightEye KOA031831, plus training, service and maintenance for use by Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

(emphasis in original).

16.
And the January 5, 2023 Memorandum states (in relevant part):

The Agreement cited in Schedule 2, that certain Order no. 220/9169 dated September 21, 2022 for 1,000 tactical drones type FlightEye KOA031831. The Parties desire to memorialize that such order was subsequently increased to 2,000 units, as to which 5% commission is payable pursuant to the Agreement.

17.
Montague is entitled to receive commissions "for two years after the termination of the provision of Services under [the] Agreement" (Ex. B, Section 3.3(a)) and the Agreement does not terminate naturally until January 1, 2026 (id. at Section 2: "the term of this Agreement .

.. shall continue for a period of three years or until earlier terminated by either party"). The 2023 Consulting Agreement has not been terminated by either party.

18.
Those terms-Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Schedule 2, and the excerpted portion of the Memorandum-form the primary basis for Montague's claims for amounts payable and owing by Cyberlux under the 2023 Consulting Agreement.
19.
Further, Montague is entitled to additional penalty payments, and interest payments, on unpaid commissions. Specifically, Section 3.3(c) provides:

In respect of any underpayment of Commission, Cyberlux will pay interest on such underpayment at a rate of one percent (1%) per month; provided that if any payment in respect of any Commissionable Contract is underpaid by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable thereunder in any month, the Parties agree that such underpayment represents willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Cyberlux, and must be cured within ten (10) business days with an additional payment premium of an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the underpayment amount.

20.
Moreover, Section 3.5 provides:

Consultant shall have the right to charge interest on any unpaid Fees, Commission and expenses at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month, commencing 15 days after the due date thereof, subject to the additional amount in respect of underpaid Commission set forth in Section 3.3 above.

Payments to Cyberlux Under the Ukraine-related Commissionable Contract
21.
On or about August 29, 2023, Cyberlux entered a contract with HII to deliver FlightEye Model K8 drones for use by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. This contract, with an initial total value of approximately $79 million, represents the culmination of Montague's strategic efforts to position Cyberlux as a key supplier in the defense sector.
22.
Based on information available to Montague, public court filings, and Cyberlux's public financial disclosures, Cyberlux received approximately $38.7 million in payments under this contract during 2023.
23.
Furthermore, based upon documents filed by the former receiver of Cyberlux, in Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC, et al. v. Cyberlux Corporation, et al., Cause No. 2024-48085, 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the "Atlantic Wave case"), Montague has learned that HII is expected to make an additional payment of $25,795,303.38 to Cyberlux in the near term.

These payments-both the $38.7 million payment and the forthcoming $25.7 payment-are subject to Montague's entitlement to commissions at the contractual rate of 5% under the 2023 Consulting Agreement.
Material Breaches of the 2023 Consulting Agreement by Cyberlux
25.
Cyberlux has materially breached multiple provisions of the 2023 Consulting Agreement, depriving Montague of millions of dollars in rightfully earned compensation while simultaneously failing to provide the transparency promised under the Agreement. These breaches are not mere technical violations but represent a fundamental failure to honor the contractual relationship that has been instrumental to Cyberlux's success.
26.
Despite receiving approximately $38.7 million in payments during 2023 under the Ukraine drone contract-a Commissionable Contract expressly identified in Schedule 2 of the Agreement and subject to the 5% commission rate-Cyberlux has failed to pay Montague any portion of the $1,935,000 in commissions due on these receipts. This complete failure to pay commissions constitutes not only a material breach of Section 3.3 of the Agreement but also triggers the willful misconduct provisions of Section 3.3(c), as the underpayment exceeds 10% of the amount payable (indeed, it represents a 100% underpayment). Under the Agreement's

terms, this gross underpayment subjects Cyberlux to both interest charges at 1% per month and an additional penalty equal to 10% of the underpayment amount.

27.
In addition to its failure to pay the 5% commission on the Ukraine drone contract, Cyberlux has failed to pay the 2% commission due to Montague on other Commissionable Contracts.
28.
In addition to the commission obligations, Cyberlux has failed to pay the monthly consulting fees required under Section 3.2 of the Agreement. Beginning with the January 2025 payment and continuing through the present, Cyberlux has failed to make six (6) of the required monthly payments of $20,833.33. As of today, the unpaid consulting fees total $125,000 for the period January through June 2025, exclusive of interest. This ongoing failure to pay base compensation represents a separate and independent material breach of the Agreement.
29.
Compounding these payment failures, Cyberlux has breached its reporting obligations under Section 3.3(a) of the Agreement by failing to provide monthly statements detailing payments received under Commissionable Contracts. Despite the clear requirement that such statements be provided within the first five business days of each month, Montague has received no statements whatsoever regarding the substantial payments Cyberlux has received under the Ukraine drone contract. This lack of transparency has forced Montague to rely on incomplete public information and third-party sources to determine the extent of amounts owed, thereby frustrating the Agreement's provisions designed to ensure accurate and timely commission payments.

Amounts Due Montague

30.
On June 10, 2025, a demand letter was sent-via email and Federal Express-by Montague to Cyberlux, detailing the breaches and amounts owed to Montague under the 2023 Consulting Agreement.
31.
Cyberlux owes: (a) $1,935,000 in unpaid commissions on the approximately $38.7 million received during 2023; (b) $193,500 representing the 10% penalty on such underpayment pursuant to Section 3.3; (c) accrued interest on the unpaid commission at 1% per month from the date each payment was due; (d) $125,000 in unpaid monthly consulting fees for January through June 2025; and (e) accrued interest on unpaid consulting fees at 1% per month from each payment's due date.
32.
Upon receipt of the $25,795,303.38 payment from HII referenced in the Atlantic Wave case, Cyberlux will owe Montague the 5% commission due thereon ($1,289,765.17) within ten business days. Cyberlux's failure to timely pay this commission will trigger the 10% penalty provisions of Section 3.3(c).
Cyberlux's Demonstrated Pattern of Deliberately Frustrating Creditor Recovery Efforts
33.
Cyberlux has demonstrated a pattern of frustrating creditor recovery efforts. (See "Bad Faith Litigation Tactics," infra.) Court records reflect that Cyberlux has repeatedly made representations regarding its intentions to secure or satisfy obligations that have not materialized. In October 2024, Cyberlux represented to the Court in the Atlantic Wave case that a stay of execution had been granted in Virginia regarding the underlying judgment domesticated in Texas, when in fact no such stay had been requested or granted. Subsequently, in April 2025, Cyberlux represented to a federal court (in a baseless and, ultimately rejected, removal action) that it intended to file a supersedeas bond, yet no such motion was ever filed.
34.
Cyberlux's financial maneuvers have raised concerns regarding asset preservation. Records indicate that Cyberlux dissipated a substantial portion of the $38.7 million payment it received from HII in September 2023. (See "Cyberlux's Documented Pattern of Asset Dissipation," infra.) Recently, in April 2025, after defaulting on a credit agreement with Legalist SPV III, LP ("Legalist"), Cyberlux amended its line of credit with Legalist to increase

its borrowing limit by millions, with the credit facility collateralized by accounts receivable on its Ukraine-related drone contracts. (See "Factoring and Encumbering Receivables", infra.)

35.
The facts set forth below, and the scope of creditor claims against Cyberlux (see "Cyberlux is at Extreme Risk of Insolvency," infra), underscore the critical need for Montague's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, filed concurrently herewith.
36.
Recently terminated Texas receivership proceedings exemplify Cyberlux's systematic efforts to evade creditor obligations while controlling substantial assets. On July 7, 2024, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC filed a petition to enforce a Virginia foreign judgment in the 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. Following months of contentious litigation, Atlantic Wave moved to appoint a receiver on January 9, 2025. Despite the court's oral grant of the motion, Cyberlux removed the case to federal court before a written order could be entered. Judge Lee Rosenthal remanded the case on March 27, 2025, finding the removal untimely. When Atlantic Wave renewed its motion for receiver appointment, Cyberlux again removed to federal court on April 11, 2025-prompting Judge Rosenthal to award attorney's fees as sanctions and find that "Cyberlux had no objectively reasonable basis to remove again."
Cyberlux's Documented Pattern of Asset Dissipation
37.
Court records reveal a shocking pattern of asset dissipation by Cyberlux immediately upon receipt of government contract funds. According to the sworn declaration of William Welter in the Atlantic Wave case, bank records produced in discovery confirmed that Cyberlux "received a payment of $38.7 million from a US Government contract to supply drones to Ukraine on September 8, 2023." Rather than use these funds to satisfy creditor obligations or maintain business operations, "Defendants transferred significant sums of money to personal

accounts, friends, and family members, beginning on the same day the $38 million was transferred into Cyberlux's account."

Cyberlux's Active Measures to Place Assets Beyond Creditor Reach: Factoring and Encumbering Receivables
38.
Cyberlux has actively encumbered the Ukraine drone contract receivables-the very receivables on which Montague holds commission rights-to secure financing that prejudices Montague's interests.
39.
In a June 6, 2025 emergency motion vis-à-vis the Texas receivership, Cyberlux revealed that "Legalist advised the Receiver that it was exercising its contractual right to act as attorney-in-fact for Cyberlux and would issue a protective advance pursuant to an existing credit agreement between Cyberlux and Legalist." Court filings reveal that Legalist claims secured creditor status with "UCC liens that secured all assets of Judgment Debtors as collateral" and asserts that "Cyberlux completed a notice of assignment to Legalist under a drone contract based on its indebtedness to Legalist, thereby giving Legalist the full right to payments from the drone contract."
40.
That assignment directly conflicts with Montague's contractual right to receive 5% commissions on all Ukraine drone contract payments. Moreover, Legalist's claimed indebtedness, as of January 24, 2025, totaled "$7,313,627.17 with fees accruing at a daily rate of $4,364.46." A June 11, 2025 email confirms that Cyberlux has further encumbered Ukraine drone contract payments-by over $2 million in secured debt-via Legalist's "protective advance." In that email, counsel for Cyberlux confirmed the wire transfer.
Cyberlux's Active Measures to Place Assets Beyond Creditor Reach: Bad Faith Litigation Tactics
41.
Cyberlux has engaged in a systematic campaign of bad faith litigation tactics designed to delay and frustrate creditor collection efforts. Federal courts have sanctioned

Cyberlux for its improper conduct. In May 2025, Chief Judge Rosenthal found that Cyberlux "had no objectively reasonable basis to remove again" after Cyberlux removed the same state receivership case to federal court twice in quick succession. The court awarded attorney's fees as sanctions, finding that "Cyberlux has used the presence of some government property to attempt to delay and frustrate Atlantic Wave's right to collect on its judgment." The Texas receiver documented this pattern, noting that "before the 129th could issue a signed order-and desperate for any delay possible-Cyberlux removed the same case to the same federal court for the second time in two months."

42.
Cyberlux's bad faith extends to discovery violations and false representations to courts. Atlantic Wave's counsel declared under oath that despite filing purported "emergency" motions, "Cyberlux has not set any hearings (or even agreed to any open hearing dates), despite maintaining that their filing was based on the need for emergency relief." When served with discovery requests and deposition notices, "Cyberlux has not responded to the discovery requests, nor did its representative appear for the August 27th deposition." Courts have been forced to intervene, with a Texas court granting Atlantic Wave's motion to compel after finding that Cyberlux had issued "voluminous and baseless objections" to standard post-judgment discovery.
Cyberlux is at Extreme Risk of Insolvency
43.
Public court filings demonstrate that Cyberlux faces overwhelming financial obligations that exceed its ability to pay, creating an extreme risk of insolvency that threatens all creditor recoveries. A letter from the Texas receiver, dated June 4, 2025, catalogues the staggering scope of Cyberlux's debts, identifying "at least $40 million in debt Cyberlux owes to various creditors." This included secured debt to Legalist SPV III of $7,313,627.17 with daily accrual of $4,364.46; a $2,111,086.01 judgment to Atlantic Wave; a $1,631,221.32 federal

default judgment to Thin Air Gear entered May 16, 2025; a $235,411.27 judgment to Aerotek entered April 11, 2025; pending litigation claims exceeding $5.6 million from R.B. Capital Partners; contractual obligations including $1,860,017.08 in unpaid wages to former Catalyst Machineworks owners; and over $3,000,000 owed to Montague. The pattern of default judgments-with Cyberlux failing to even appear or defend in multiple cases-demonstrates Cyberlux's avoidance of obligations and high risk of insolvency.

Cyberlux is Deliberately Frustrating Montague's Right to Receive Sums Under the 2023 Consulting Agreement
44.
The totality of Cyberlux's conduct demonstrates a deliberate scheme to frustrate Montague's contractual right to receive commissions on the Ukraine drone contracts that Montague was instrumental in securing. While Cyberlux received $38.7 million in September 2023 and expects an additional $25,795,303.38 payment imminently, it has paid Montague nothing of the millions owed in commissions. Instead, Cyberlux has dissipated funds through insider transfers, encumbered the very receivables on which Montague holds commission rights through conflicting assignments to Legalist, and engaged in serial litigation misconduct to delay creditor recoveries. With over $40 million in competing creditor claims and a demonstrated willingness to transfer assets beyond creditor reach, Cyberlux's conduct threatens to render Montague's contractual rights worthless absent immediate court intervention; intervention Montague seeks via the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, filed concurrently herewith. The imminent receipt of the $25.7 million HII payment creates an emergency requiring this Court's protection to preserve Montague's bargained-for 5% commission rights.

COUNT I: BREACH OF CONTRACT

45.
Montague incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
46.
A valid and enforceable contract exists between Montague and Cyberlux in the form of the 2023 Consulting Agreement, which was duly executed by authorized representatives of both parties on or about January 1, 2023, and supplemented via the Memorandum dated January 5, 2023.
47.
Montague has fully performed all conditions, covenants, and obligations required under the 2023 Consulting Agreement, including but not limited to: (a) providing strategic business development services; (b) identifying and developing acquisition opportunities; (c) assisting with the identification of business development opportunities involving Cyberlux's portfolio of products and services; (d) sourcing and negotiating commercial contracts, including the $79 million HII contract; and (e) facilitating Cyberlux's transformation into a defense contractor.
48.
Cyberlux has materially breached the 2023 Consulting Agreement in multiple respects, including: (a) failing to pay the 5% commission due on approximately $38.7 million received under the Ukraine drone contract during 2023, totaling $1,935,000; (b) failing to pay the 2% commission on other Commissionable Contracts; (c) failing to pay monthly consulting fees from January 2025 through June 2025, totaling $125,000; (d) failing to provide monthly statements of payments received under Commissionable Contracts as required by Section 3.3(a); and (e) failing to pay interest and penalties on underpaid amounts as required by Sections 3.3(c) and 3.5.
49.
As a direct and proximate result of Cyberlux's breaches, Montague has suffered actual damages in the amount of at least $2,253,500 consisting of: (a) $1,935,000 in unpaid

commissions on the $38.7 million payment; (c) $193,500 in contractual penalties; (d) $125,000 in unpaid monthly fees; and (e) interest accruing at 1% per month on all unpaid amounts.

50.
Upon receipt of the $25,795,303.38 payment from HII, Cyberlux will owe Montague the 5% commission due thereon ($1,289,765.17) within ten business days. Cyberlux's failure to timely pay this commission will trigger the 10% penalty provisions of Section 3.3(c).
COUNT II: QUANTUM MERUIT
51.
Montague incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
52.
In the alternative, and without waiving the foregoing, Montague brings this its second cause of action, quantum meruit.
53.
Montague rendered valuable services to Cyberlux, including identifying acquisition targets, negotiating complex commercial transactions, developing strategic business relationships, and specifically sourcing the $79 million HII contract for Ukraine drone sales.
54.
These services were knowingly and voluntarily accepted by Cyberlux, as evidenced by: (a) Cyberlux's execution of consulting agreements acknowledging the value of such services; (b) Cyberlux's reliance on Montague's expertise in completing acquisitions and securing contracts; and (c) Cyberlux's receipt of approximately $38.7 million (with an additional $25.7 million pending) directly resulting from contracts sourced by Montague.
55.
The services were not rendered gratuitously, as both parties understood and agreed that Montague would be compensated through fees and commissions for its strategic business development work.
56.
The services were highly beneficial to Cyberlux, transforming it from a small lighting company into a legitimate defense contractor with substantial government contracts, including the single largest revenue source in Cyberlux's history.
57.
Despite receiving the benefit of Montague's services and the resulting revenues, Cyberlux has failed and refused to pay Montague the reasonable value of such services.
58.
The reasonable value of Montague's services, based on industry standards for investment banking and strategic consulting services resulting in transactions of this magnitude, is no less than $3,543,265.17, representing approximately 5% of the revenues generated through Montague's efforts.
COUNT III: UNJUST ENRICHMENT
59.
Montague incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
60.
In the alternative, and without waiving the foregoing, Montague brings this its third cause of action, unjust enrichment.
61.
Montague conferred substantial benefits upon Cyberlux, including (but not limited to): (a) strategic business development services that transformed Cyberlux's business model; (b) identification and negotiation of key acquisitions; and (c) sourcing the $79 million HII contract.
2.
Cyberlux appreciated and had knowledge of these benefits, as demonstrated by its active participation in the transactions sourced by Montague, its execution of agreements acknowledging Montague's role, and its receipt and retention of the revenues generated through Montague's efforts.
63.
Cyberlux voluntarily accepted and retained these benefits, including the revenues, business relationships, and enhanced market position resulting from Montague's services.
64.
Under the circumstances, it would be inequitable and unconscionable for

Cyberlux to retain these benefits without compensating Montague, particularly where: (a) Cyberlux explicitly agreed to pay commissions on such revenues; (b) Montague's efforts were

the proximate cause of Cyberlux obtaining these contracts and revenues; and (c) Cyberlux has retained the full benefit while refusing to pay any compensation to Montague.

65.
5. Cyberlux has been unjustly enriched in an amount no less than $3,543,265.17, representing the value of the benefits conferred and retained.
66.
Montague has no adequate remedy at law to the extent its contract claims are deemed unenforceable, and equity requires that Cyberlux disgorge the benefits it has unjustly retained.
COUNT IV: BREACH OF THE IMPLIED COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING
67.
Montague incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
68.
Under North Carolina law, every contract contains an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that prohibits either party from doing anything that will injure or frustrate the other party's right to receive the benefits of the agreement.
69.
The 2023 Agreement was intended to compensate Montague for its strategic consulting services and business development efforts, particularly for sourcing valuable contracts.
70.
Defendants breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by engaging in a pattern of conduct designed to frustrate Montague's right to receive the benefits of the Agreement, including:

a. Receiving $38.7 million from the Ukraine drone contract that Montague sourced, while refusing to pay any portion of the contractually required 5% commission;

b. Deliberately failing to provide monthly payment statements as required by Section 3.3(a), thereby preventing Montague from verifying amounts owed;

c. Dissipating drone contract proceeds through transfers to insiders and personal accounts rather than satisfying contractual obligations to Montague; and

d. Actively encumbering and factoring receivables to place contract proceeds beyond Montague's reach.

71.
. No reasonable contracting party would expect that a consultant who sources a $79 million government contract would receive nothing while the client dissipates millions in proceeds for personal benefit.
2.
As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's breach of the implied covenant, Montague has been damaged in an amount exceeding $3.5 million, representing the unpaid commissions and fees it would have received but for Defendants' bad faith conduct.
73.
Defendant's breach of the implied covenant was willful, wanton, and malicious, entitling Montague to punitive damages.
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
74.
All conditions precedent to Montague's recovery have been performed, or have occurred, or have been waived or excused by Cyberlux's conduct.
ATTORNEYS' FEES
75.
Montague incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
76.
Sections 8.1 and 8.1(b) of the 2023 Agreement provide that Montague is entitled to recover "reasonable attorneys' fees" and "costs, or expenses of whatever kind" for Cyberlux's "breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under [the] Agreement."
77.
Additionally, or alternatively, Plaintiff is entitled to attorneys' fees under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.6, as this action is brought to recover amounts due under a contract for the payment of money.
78.
Plaintiff has been required to retain counsel to prosecute this action and has agreed to pay reasonable attorneys' fees for such representation.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Plaintiff prays that this Court provide the following relief:

(1)
Enter judgment against Defendant for: (a) $1,935,000 in unpaid commissions on 2023 payments; (b) $1,289,765.17 in commissions on the pending HII payment; (c) at least $193,500 in contractual penalties; (d) $125,000 in unpaid consulting fees; (e) appropriate commissions on all other Commissionable Contracts; and (f) interest at 1% per month on all unpaid amounts;
(2)
Award Plaintiff its reasonable attorneys' fees pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.1(b) of the 2023 Agreement and/or N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.6; and
(3)
Further relief as this Court shall deem just and proper.

Plaintiff respectfully requests a trial by jury on all issues raised by this Complaint which are triable by right of a jury.

3.
FEES AND EXPENSES.

3.1 The Parties agree and acknowledge that $250,000.00 of fees remain outstanding and payable by Cyberlux to Consultant under the Existing Agreement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that $125,000.00 of such amount has been due and owing in excess of one year, and therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement, Consultant has a right, at any time, to require a promissory note be made by Cyberlux payable to Consultant, on, and subject to the terms contemplated by the Existing Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement, Consultant may require that Cyberlux make a promissory note for the remaining $125,000.00 outstanding under the Existing Agreement upon the terms contemplated thereby from December 31, 2023. Cyberlux shall inform Consultant no less than 10 business days prior to entering into any indebtedness which would by its terms be superior in right of payment to, or ranked pari passu with the promissory notes that Consultant may require be issued pursuant to this Section 3.1. If, within five business days of such notice, Consultant elects to require Cyberlux to issue a promissory note under this Section 3.1, (a) Cyberlux shall issue such promissory note(s) to Consultant prior to entering into the indebtedness as to which Cyberlux is required to provide notice hereunder, and (b) Cyberlux shall cause to be filed in favor of Consultant a UCC Financing Statement in respect of its obligations to Consultant. For the avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Exhibit A, is the form of promissory note Cyberlux agrees to issue and make in the above amounts upon demand therefor by Consultant. In furtherance of the recognition of the aggregate amount overdue and owning under the Existing Agreement, Cyberlux agrees to execute an Affidavit of Confession of Judgement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and cause to be filed a UCC Financing Statement in respect of the obligations evidenced by such promissory note.

3.2 As base compensation for the Services and the rights granted to Cyberlux in this Agreement, Cyberlux shall pay Consultant a fixed fee of $250,000.00 (the "Fees") per annum, payable in equal monthly installments on the first business day of each month, commencing January 3, 2023. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will receive an IRS

Form 1099-NEC from Cyberlux, and that Consultant shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, as set out in Section 4.2.

3.3

(a) In addition to the Fees, Consultant shall be entitled to receive two percent (2%), with the exception of any Ukraine-related commercial contracts for which the Consultant shall be entited to five percent (5%),of the gross amounts payable to Cyberlux (the "Commission") under commercial contracts sourced by Consultant, including, without limitation, the proceeds of joint ventures, licenses and software as service agreements (collectively, the "Commissionable Contracts"). Commissionable Contracts, including designated lines of business, work orders, and similar in effect on the date hereof are listed on Schedule 2 hereto. From time to time, Consultant shall provide Cyberlux with names of persons (entities or natural persons) with whom Consultant reasonably believes Cyberlux could enter into a commercially beneficial contract and/or work orders sourced by or through Consultant. Unless otherwise directed by Cyberlux, Consultant shall pursue a commercial relationship with such persons for the benefit of Cyberlux. If and when Cyberlux enters into a commercial relationship with any such person, such commercial relationship, together with all related work orders, shall be deemed a Commissionable Contract hereunder. During the term hereof, and for two years after the termination of the provision of Services under this Agreement, Cyberlux will, within the first five (5) business days of each month provide Consultant with a statement of all payments made under Commissionable Contracts in the prior month, together with payment of the Commission in respect thereof. Consultant shall have the absolute right to sub-contract the establishment of commercial relationships, and the sourcing of work orders to be covered by this Section 3.3. and Consultant may split any Commission payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 with any one or more such persons. At the reasonable request of the Consultant, Cyberlux shall seek to make payments of such split Commissions directly to such persons, as may be requested from time to time by Consultant.

(b) Cyberlux agrees and acknowledges that Consultant or an affiliate of Consultant may have a pre-existing relationship with one or more parties with whom Cyberlux enters into a Commissionable Contract, including without limitation an ownership interest in a counterparty to Cyberlux.Such pre-existing relationship may cause a conflict of interest between Consultant and Cyberlux in respect of any Commissionable Contract. In addition, Cyberlux may be required to disclose such a Commissionable Contract as a "related party transaction," and may have internal procedures in respect of "related party transactions." Commissions (and Fees and expenses (pursuant to Section 3.4)) shall be payable hereunder despite any interest Consultant may have in Cyberlux's counterparty to any such Commissionable Contract.

(c) For so long as Commissions are payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 and for a period of two years thereafter, Consultant shall have access to the books and records of Cyberlux in respect of all Commissionable Contracts in order to review and

confirm the amounts payable as Commission. In respect of any underpayment of Commission, Cyberlux will pay interest on such underpayment at a rate of one percent (1%) per month; provided that if any payment in respect of any Commissionable Contract is underpaid by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable thereunder in any month, the Parties agree that such underpayment represents willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Cyberlux, and must be cured within ten (10) business days with an additional payment premium of an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the underpayment amount. If at any time, either Party determines that Cyberlux has overpaid any Commission, Consultant shall promptly repay the amount of such overpayment to Cyberlux, or, at the option of Cyberlux, Cyberlux may offset the amount of such overpayment against the payment of future Commissions. If the Parties are in disagreement as to the existence of an underpayment or overpayment of Commission, they shall use good faith efforts to settle their disagreement regarding such amount. If despite their efforts, they are unable to reach agreement regarding the amount of any overpayment or underpayment, they shall mutually engage an independent accountant to review the applicable records of Cyberlux. The determination of such accountant as to such overpayment or underpayment shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the amount of a disputed underpayment is greater than 50% of the amount of the underpayment claimed by Consultant, Cyberlux shall bear the cost of the independent accountant. Otherwise the Parties shall equally bear the cost of the accountant in determining the amount of underpayment. If the amount of a disputed overpayment is less than 50% of the amount of the overpayment claimed by Cyberlux, Cyberlux shall bear the cost of the independent accountant. Otherwise, the Parties shall equally bear the cost of the accountant in determining the amount of overpayment.

3.4 Cyberlux agrees to reimburse Consultant for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Consultant in compliance with Cyberlux's existing expense policy (as applicable to executive officers of Cyberlux). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of such policy Consultant understands and agrees that it shall be required to (a) provide itemized expense reimbursement requests together with copies of all receipts, and (b) obtain the written consent of Cyblerlux prior to incurring any individual expense in excess of $100.00. Consultant understands and agrees that failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4 in respect of any expense may result in non-reimbursement of such expense. Cyberlux will reimburse Consultant for all expenses incurred in compliance with this Section 3.4 within 30 days of submission of the applicable reimbursement request.

3.5 Consultant shall have the right to charge interest on any unpaid Fees, Commission and expenses at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month, commencing 15 days after the due date thereof, subject to the additional amount in respect of underpaid Commission set forth in Section 3.3 above.
